lyrics

She opens her eyes to see another day
Wondering if this day will be better than the last.
She just wants this pain to go away, and she asks
“What did I do to deserve this?

When will these feelings stop consuming me,
What can I do to bring you back to me,
Why can’t I do this right, why can’t I stop the fight,
And what the hell is happening?

And I can’t explain,
My minds ten thousand tv screens
but am I to blame for whats wrong with me?
What the hell is wrong with me?

I Pull back the blinds and let the light shine in,
Realize the season has changed and years have gone by,
He’s standing here right in front of me but I’m still alone,
Holding back the tears, as I satisfy him with a lie.”

And he says

“You are to blame,
Despite everything you’ve made up in your head,
And you're not the same as what you used to be.” 

AND SHE IS SCREAMING “Is there any one out there that can see me? That can save me from myself?
I am begging, pleading, Id do anything for you to take this pain away.
I am weakening, I only have so much left in me
Before the dark consumes me, and I am losing control,
I’m fading away… just let me go…. let me fade away.”

And he pleads….
“Can you hear me? Can you feel me? Will you please come back to me? Come back to me!

And you are not the same,
Despite everything that I have said.
And you're not to blame.
And you are not the same,
And you're not to blame.”
